ENG vs IND Dream11 Team Prediction, Fantasy Cricket Tips and Playing 11 Updates for 2nd Test
The second Test match between England and India will take place between August 12 and August 16, 2021, at the Lord’s Cricket Ground in London. The game will kickstart from 11:00 AM local time – 3:30 PM (IST) onwards and will be streamed live on Sony Sports Network and Sony Liv.
Team England
The English side didn’t have a great outing in the previous match at Nottingham as they just got saved due to bad weather. England bowlers did well to restrict the Indian batters but their batsmen failed to impress much. Moreover, the Joe Root-led side has been hit with a few injuries just before the second Test as their key pacers Stuart Broad and James Anderson are most unlikely to play at the Lord’s.
Team India
The Virat Kohli’s men had a dominating run at Trent Bridge where they needed just 157 runs with nine wickets in hand on the final day before the rain Gods spoiled the party. Just like England, the Indian team has been injury-ridden as Shardul Thakur won’t be available for selection owing to a hamstring strain. As a result, Ravichandran Ashwin or Ishant Sharma will be getting an opportunity in the playing XI.
Let’s look at our fantasy 11 predictions for this clash and here are the top picks for ENG vs IND.
